  • So… What choices did the artists make to give you that feeling? Because again, the only thing I can find when I search for people getting sick while playing FO4 is just motion sickness, and then all the comments mention other first-person games they have similar issues with and that going third-person helps alleviate that.

    I guess I’m still confused why anyone would get queasy playing a first-person game and it isn’t motion sickness. Like you don’t hear people complaining about getting queasy when they play any of the Doom games for example.





  • I keep coming back to this thread.

    I was gonna say they’re not actual zombies because they don’t eat each other… But in every Fallout game (that I’ve played) there’s literally a “Cannibalism” perk that lets you eat corpses for health. And The Ghoul most definitely has that perk in the show.

    So… Yeah.


  • That’s what I’m thinking. OP might be some 180 mhz, 120 fps, whatever overclocking to get the most out of the game type of person. Which is fine, but when it holds you back from enjoying a large percent of all video games ever released, it’s a little ridiculous.

    ETA: in fact I just did a couple-hundred-hour playthrough a couple months ago and it looked fine. A little muddy cause it’s like 11 years old now, but it still looks good imo. The stylization really helps to make it not look as dated. Also I used a shitload of power armor mods cause I wanted to be a collector of exotic armors. My favorite is probably the NCR PA based on the one from the show.






  • Khaleesi (dumb I know), Ser Jorah Mormont (honestly one of the best characters in the show imo), I don’t remember the merc, Rickon Bran and the youngest doesn’t really matter from what I remember. And the Night’s Watch doesn’t matter except for Sam and Jon.

    Damn, I only watched up to season 6 myself and it’s been a few years since I last watched any of it.

    Fallout has way, way fewer main characters than GoT did even at the very beginning. We follow three main characters in the wasteland: Lucy, Maximus, The Ghoul. Then there’s her brother Norm and the rest of Vaults 31-33, Ghoul’s wife Janie in the flashbacks, and Thaddeus who’s Max’s friend.

    Uhhh… The show basically confirms your “head canon” in season 2.

    Also, I’m just gonna say that I absolutely hate how people will still claim that Todd hates New Vegas/Obsidian; he’s gone on record multiple times saying that’s not the case, the entirety of season 2 of the show was literally “New Vegas 2.” The only reason your playthrough/ending of NV isn’t canon is because in lore it’s been about 15+ years since, and we all know nothing is ever permanent in Fallout.

    I’m getting real tired of people spreading straight-up false information because it makes them feel better about a game they played when they were 10-13.

    Edit: just gonna leave this article here for folks to read.


  • You’re holding yourself back from some great storytelling and worldbuilding all because you don’t like the look of the graphics. I’ve literally never heard anyone say they feel nauseous from playing any Fallout game.

    Also, you’d find the ghouls from any of the games before FO4/the show extremely discomforting if you didn’t like how The Ghoul looks in the show.

    In lore, ghouls are insanely irradiated and mutated humans to the point they basically literally turn into leprous zombies. They’re functionally immortal, radiation heals them kinda like Wolverine (that one may be a bit of a retcon), and a lot of them lose their minds from the whole ordeal and go “feral.” In Fallout 3 in particular, there’s a location that’s populated entirely by ghouls and you can ask them what it’s like. At least one of them goes into detail about what it felt like when their face-skin peeled off, along with their nose.

    Again, you’re really holding yourself back from enjoying a fantastic universe, but you do you.
